Research on Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging of the Brain Based on Deep Learning
Precise evaluation of the deviation of water molecule diffusion in the brain tissue from the Gaussian diffusion model is crucial for diagnosing brain disorders. Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is a technique that may accurately describe the non-Gaussian

Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling Improves Microstructural Parameter Mapping in Diffusion and Exchange MRI Data. [PDF]
Our hierarchical Bayesian modelling (HBM) technique is demonstrated in two neuroimaging diffusion MRI models. When compared with least‐squares (LSQ) minimisation, HBM increased the accuracy, precision, contrast‐to‐noise ratio and parameter map quality in simulated and human data. HBM also resolved local parameter variations associated with white matter

Brain Alterations Linked to the MPTP Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease Uncovered by Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. [PDF]
In MPTP‐treated mice, DKI and 1H‐MRS revealed increased hippocampal and thalamic diffusivity with reduced striatal Glu/tCr and Glx/tCr at 24 h. By 72 h, cortical, striatal, and thalamic diffusivity rose, with partial hippocampal recovery. Elevated Tau/tCr and hippocampal metabolite alterations paralleled neuronal loss and gliosis, supporting DKI/1H‐MRS

Assessing Measurement Repeatability of a Novel Anisotropic Phantom for Advanced Diffusion MRI Models. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose Diffusion MRI is widely used to characterize tissue microstructure, but standardization remains challenging, particularly for advanced models or regions with crossing fibers. Phantoms provide controlled environments to assess measurement repeatability independent of biological variability.
